Dear Andy, Thank you very much for taking your time to write this Review. We would like to take the chance and explain the local taxi situation:
In Sinalunga there is no taxi line waiting for calls or passengers like in bigger cities. Therefore we have to pre-book and organize the Taxi Company which is of course no problem, even on short notice. The company we are using is indeed the local taxi service of Sinalunga. The prices are very normal for this area especially if you consider that you had a taxi for max. 8 people booked and the price is based on both ways including the driver waiting for you at your location to take you home. So divided by 8 people the 60 € trip to Sinalunga is 7,50 € each which i would consider to be normal.
For our future guests who are reading this, please, if you are unsure about the costs for taxi services here in Sinalunga or transportation from airports etc... just email us and we can send you before hand all prices! The walking distance into town is about half an hour and there is a route through the woods and also you can walk along the small country roads. The walk might be a "medium challenge" if you would like to arrive at the top in the old town center. We hope this helps and avoids confusion in the future! Thanks again and all the best! Sonja
